ARTS-INFUSED EDUCATION ADVOCACY
What Is Arts-Infused
Education?
Arts-infused (or arts-integrated)
education is the practice of teaching
“through” and “with” the arts to build
skills and teach classroom subjects
across different disciplines,
including reading, math, science
and social studies.” —The President’s Committee on the Arts and the
Humanities, Reinvesting in Arts Education, 2011
Champion Creatively Alive ChildrenTM
ARTS-INFUSED EDUCATION ADVOCACY
Benefits of High-Quality
Arts Education
• Development of social competencies, including collaboration and teamwork
skills, self-confidence and social tolerance —The President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, Reinvesting in Arts Education, 2011
• Improved student achievement and transfer of skills from learning in the
arts to learning in other academic areas
• Improved student motivation and engagement, including improved
attendance, persistence, focused attention, heightened educational
aspirations, and intellectual risk taking
• Development of habits of mind, including critical thinking, creative thinking
and problem solving skills
Why Is Arts-Infused Education Important?
“To succeed today and in the future, America’s
children will need to be inventive, resourceful, and
imaginative. The best way to foster that creativity
is through arts education.” —U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan
Champion Creatively Alive ChildrenTM
ARTS-INFUSED EDUCATION ADVOCACY
“Studies have now documented significant links
between arts integration models and academic
and social outcomes for students, efficacy for
teachers, and school-wide improvements in
culture and climate.
“ Arts integration is efficient, addressing a number
of outcomes at the same time. Most important, the
greatest gains in schools with arts integration
are often seen school-wide and also with the
most hard-to-reach and economically
disadvantaged students.” —The President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities,
Reinvesting in Arts Education, 2011
